Aluminum Fabrication & Architectural Elements

We don't just make signs. We design and build custom aluminum structures — canopies, awnings, architectural features, and Knotwood elements that elevate the entire property.

A Complete Exterior Package — Not Just a Sign

CG Signs has always done more than fabricate traditional signs. Our in-house metal shop, CNC router, and skilled fabricators allow us to take on architectural elements that most sign companies can't touch.

We fabricate aluminum canopies, truss structures, Knotwood privacy screens, ACM panel systems, custom awnings, and freestanding architectural features — typically as part of a complete sign package, but also as standalone fabrication projects.

  • Custom aluminum canopy and awning fabrication
  • Knotwood composite aluminum privacy screens and fencing
  • ACM (aluminum composite material) panels and cladding
  • "Bow String Truss" sign support structures
  • CNC-cut decorative aluminum components
  • Architectural brackets, caps, and custom metalwork

Fabrication Capabilities

Our facility in Orange Park is equipped with the tools and the talent to handle complex metal fabrication alongside our sign work.

Aluminum Canopies & Awnings

We fabricate flat-panel aluminum canopies, sloped awnings, and decorative shade structures for commercial storefronts, building entries, and outdoor spaces. Welded aluminum construction, powder-coated to any color, with integrated sign mounting and lighting capability.

Our canopies are engineered for Florida's wind and weather requirements, and we handle permitting and installation as part of the complete package.

Knotwood Composite Aluminum

Knotwood is an extruded aluminum product that mimics the look of natural timber without the maintenance, rot, or dimensional instability of real wood. We use Knotwood for privacy screens, fencing, architectural accents, sign backgrounds, and decorative cladding on monument and building signs.

Available in a range of wood-look finishes, Knotwood creates a premium aesthetic that holds up perfectly in Florida's heat and humidity.

Structural Sign Frames & Truss Systems

When a standard wall mount won't work — due to building setbacks, architectural features, or span requirements — we engineer and fabricate custom steel and aluminum structures to support signage at any size or angle. Our "Bow String Truss" standoff systems create a dramatic, floating appearance for large wall sign packages.

ACM Panels & Cladding

Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) panels are the industry standard for high-quality sign faces, building cladding, and decorative panels. We fabricate ACM in any size and shape — flat panels, routed letter reveals, illuminated pan faces, and building-integrated cladding systems.

Custom Aluminum Structures

From freestanding shade canopies and fuel tank covers to decorative gates, custom brackets, and one-of-a-kind architectural features — if it can be designed and built from aluminum, our shop can do it. We take on projects that fall outside the traditional "sign" category when they require the same precision and craftsmanship we bring to our sign work.

Built Right, In Our Own Shop

Everything we fabricate is built in-house at our Orange Park facility — giving us full quality control from design through installation.

CNC Router

Our CNC router cuts aluminum, ACM, HDU foam, PVC, and wood with precision that hand fabrication simply can't match — enabling complex shapes, tight tolerances, and consistent repeatability.

Metal Shop

Welding, bending, cutting, and finishing — our metal fabrication team builds sign structures, canopy frames, and architectural components that are engineered to last decades in Florida's climate.

In-House Design & Engineering

Every project starts with CAD design and engineering drawings — reviewed for structural integrity, wind load compliance, and buildability before a single piece of aluminum is cut.
